Dad, It's Time You Know What I See When I See You
Arizona Birzgalis

Dear Dad,

I think it is time I tell you what I see when I see you.

I see a man who is selfless, who puts everyone else before himself.

I see a man who is pouring out with love and forgiveness.

I see a man with rough hands from working so hard for others.

I see a man with a bad back from baring everyone else's problems and tears and holding them as if they were his own.

I see a father who wants nothing but the best for me.

I think it is time I tell you how much you have impacted me.

You have made me grown into who I am today.

You have made me believe that I can be whatever I want to be.

You have made me understand the world around me.

You have taught me to love like the way you love my mom.

You have taught me to forgive, even when it is hard.

You have made me strong, determined, and driven.

You have taught me how men should treat women.

I think it is time to tell you what I admire about you.

I admire how you have worked so hard to provide for everyone around you.

I admire how you are so kind-hearted.

I admire how you love so deeply for people.

I admire how much you love god.

I admire how you are patient.

I admire how you are so hardworking.

I admire you for everything that you are.

I don't think I've ever told you any of this, or maybe I have and you need to be reminded. You are my super dad. You are my rock and my idol. You are everything I hope and strive to be.

Thank you for being you.

Love,

Your daughter

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
